UNIFORM DISTRIBUTION Regular distribution patterns occur when individuals are evenly spaced within the area. The presence of one individual decreases the probability of finding another individual very close by. Describe why some organisms may exhibit a clumped distribution pattern because of: 1. (a) Resources in the environment: 2. Describe a social behavior found in some animals that may encourage a uniform distribution. 3. Describe the type of environment that would encourage uniform distribution. 4. Describe an example of each of the following types of distribution pattern: (a) Clumped: (b) Random: (c) Uniform:

Prairie dogs are small mammals that live in large colonies in burrows a the ground. Prairie dogs that are near their own relatives whena predator approaches are much more likely to issue a warning bark than those that are near unrelated prairie dogs. The prairie dogs that hear a warning bark are more likely to hide in their burrows than to remain above ground. However, the prairie dog that gives the warning bark is putting itself at increased risk of being identified and killed by the predator.Which of the following presents the most likely evolutionary explanation for the behaviors described? ZP chool The barking prairie dog is alerting unrelated prairie dogs to the predator, so it is not giving any advantage to its own relatives. The failure of the individual to bark when surrounded by unrelated prairie dogs ensures survival of the individual. The warning bark changes the behavior of the related prairie dogs nearby, allowing the prairie dog's family to have increased survival and…

A acientist is atudying enakes in the tropical rainforest. She surveya a 1 square mile area. She collects the following data: Color 45 H no Preen green/brown stripes black red 26 12 Based on the evidence provided, what is the most likely explanation for the red snake population size? (SC.5.N.1.1) O The red snakes are not well hidden, so they are eaten by predators often. O The green snakes and the red snakes are In competition for the same food. O The black snakes prey upon the red snakes during certain times of the year. O The red snakes have been killed off by the poisons they produce.

Prairie dogs that are near their own relatives when a predator approaches are much more likely to issue a warning bark than those that are near unrelated prairie dogs. The prairie dogs that hear a warning bark are more likely to hide in their burrows than to remain above ground. However, the prairie dog that gives the warning bark is putting itself at increased risk of being identified and killed by the predator. Which of the following presents the most likely evolutionary explanation for the behaviors described? a) The barking prairie dog chooses to warn other prairie dogs, leading to more prairie dogs living above ground. b) The failure of the individual to bark when surrounded by unrelated prairie dogs ensures survival of the individual. c) The barking prairie dog is alerting unrelated prairie dogs to the predator, so it is not giving any advantage to its own relatives.…
Use Verbal description of results from graph and then Interpret the graph for Foraging in Mixed Species Flocks sccenario in foraging lab. The interpretations must include Were the results expected and Did they support the hypotheses? If so, state the biological significance of the results from graph. If the results deviated significantly from expected results, discuss the hypotheses onthe basis of expected results and include an explanation of why this might be so. Lastly, state the conclusions drawn from the experiment and their biological relevance. Hypothesis: the assumption underscores the enhancement of foraging efficiency associated with the establishment of mixed-species flocks, emphasizing the advantages of cooperation and safety in numbers.
> A Moving to another question will save this response. Question 10 In Huffaker's mite experiment, what did the isolation of habitat (oranges) do for the predator and prey relationship? O the isolation created metapopulations which acted as prey refuges. This allowed for the prey and predator populations to cycle O the isolation created corridors for the predator to catch the prey mites. This caused the predators to eat all the prey O the isolation created deterministic behavior in the mites O the isolation allowed the prey mites to evolve into predator mites A Moving to another question will save this response. fs 米 esc 2$ % 23
What factors play a role in determining the range (area) in which a particular species lives? Choose All That Apply O the capacity to acclimate to climatic conditions the ability to find food and avoid being eaten the location of patches of resources within the geographic area the ability to find mates the underlying genetic variability of a particular population
Whichof the following factors can stabilize predator-prey relationships by providinga prey refuge?a.An area of prey habitat where predators cannot enterb.An area of prey habitat that is isolated and difficult for predators tofindc.The occurrence of prey in numbers too large for predators to attackeffectivelyd.The ability of prey to grow to a size invulnerable to predatione.All of the choices apply.
